I’m posting as a long-time fan and owner of the Mirage 2000C in DCS World.
For me, this aircraft is one of the most enjoyable and immersive modules in the simulator — from the flight model to the systems and the overall pilot feeling.

The current situation between Eagle Dynamics and RAZBAM is obviously complex and largely contractual, and I understand it’s not something the community can solve directly. However, as paying customers, many of us are genuinely concerned about the long-term future of the Mirage 2000C.

It would be a real loss for DCS to see such a unique and well-loved aircraft stagnate or slowly break due to lack of updates or long-term support. The Mirage 2000 fills a niche that no other module truly replaces.

This post is not meant as an attack on anyone, but simply to express community attachment and support for this module. Many players still care deeply about its preservation and future compatibility with DCS.

I believe many silent users feel the same way but don’t necessarily post, and would like to see a constructive resolution to this situation.

Thanks to everyone for sharing their thoughts, and to both ED and RAZBAM for the work that went into making this aircraft what it is.

Anyone else??

OK did slow repair and FM.dll missing.
Uninstalled then reinstalled...still this coming up on reinstall???

Anyone?

Glad you liked, there are 3 more surprises even as 2 are not that much of a surprise.

Before the "you never finish stuff" chanting begins, we have dedicated development teams for each project which guarantees fully completion of each module. As of right now, there is no particular release order, there are 2 projects right in the verge (none of these) and they wont be moved.

Thanks for the patience

The first public knowledge of the disagreement happened with an announcement on the RAZBAM Discord here:

Dear Customers and Community,

You may have noticed that the that the latest RAZBAM announcements does not include a changelog or any updates for our products. We would like to inform you that, until further notice, all support for RAZBAM-developed aircraft modules is on hold. This suspension encompasses, but is not limited to, bug fixes and updates.

We want to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to this exceptional community, our current customers, and prospective clients. Unfortunately, due to circumstances completely beyond our control, we are temporarily unable to continue our work at this time. Our team, a group of highly skilled and professional developers, is first and foremost made up of dedicated individuals. They invest not only their expertise but also their personal dedication and sacrifice into crafting our products. For many, this work provides essential supplementary income or even constitutes their primary livelihood.

We are hopeful for a swift resolution so that we can resume our normal operations. However, until these issues are resolved, we will not be issuing any updates about our products. We ask for your understanding during this challenging period, a situation that RAZBAM Simulations did not seek and which has previously seriously affected other parties, for example Heatblur Simulations. We have been patient, perhaps too patient, waiting for a resolution from the responsible parties. Now, we find it necessary to take a stand and await a practical solution to this deadlock.

I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my fellow third-party developers. Their support, once aware of the relevant facts, has been overwhelming. Thank you for elevating DCS to new heights; it truly wouldn't be the remarkable experience it is without your contributions.

The suspension will remain in effect until the significant issues between Eagle Dynamics and RAZBAM Simulations LLC are resolved to our mutual satisfaction. Once these issues have been addressed, we will resume our standard practices of bug fixing, updates, and upgrades, just as we have since our inception as developers for DCS. We hope this resolution results in a more stable and optimistic future for DCS and all 3rd Party Developers.

Best regards

Ron Zambrano
CEO
RAZBAM Simulations, LLC

Eagle Dynamics was compelled to respond shortly after on their Discord found here:

https://discord.com/channels/542985647502393346/543013214485610520/1225540029493936219

Following the message published by Ron Zambrano of Razbam Simulations, we believe that it is necessary to rectify some of the unfounded allegations and to reassure the Community that everything is being done to resolve the current situation promptly and for the benefit of all concerned.
 
Without entering into the details of matters that are confidential to the parties, we firmly reject the allegations that the current disagreement between Eagle Dynamics and Razbam Simulations would be as stated by Razbam “due to circumstances completely beyond our control" and that it is "a situation that Razbam Simulations did not seek".
 
On the contrary, the current disagreement is the result of improper actions that have been taken by Razbam Simulations, in breach of its contractual obligations towards our company and of our legally protected IP rights, and for which we are seeking a reasonable and forward-looking commercial outcome rather than entertaining legal claims.
 
We very much regret that Ron Zambrano has decided, without even pre-advising us, to make these disparaging public statements and, more importantly, to take the customers of the Razbam developed aircraft as leverage in the discussions with us. 

Please rest assured, we are addressing the situation with the utmost attention and constructiveness.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Nick Grey

@here 
Dear customers and community
RAZBAM Simulations is actively working with EAGLE DYNAMICS to reach an agreement to resolve our internal dispute and we don't want the discussion that our public declaration has generated to escalate any further. We want to assure you that it has never been nor will it be our intention to abandon our products. We look forward to a prompt and satisfactory resolution, turn the page, and move forward.

Best regards

This was the last of the official announcements from both management parties.

While both teams have officially been very quiet due to the delicate nature of issues at hand there has been some events that have come up and caused concerns.

Some Anti-Virus programs were picking up a false positive on some DCS DLLs. Sadly it seemed to be worse on some of the RAZBAM modules fueling fears of issues with the modules. This can be solved by adding the DCS install folder to the exceptions for your anti-virus software, this happens from time to time so this was nothing new. 

The M2000 had some issues, including CTDs. This was an accidental merge of some changes one of the developers was working on. Once it was identified the changes were reverted and the issues were solved (although nothing was noted in the changelog at the time). This was not anything related to compatibility with the core game.

June 12th at Midnight the F-15E radar stopped working. While we have internally identified the issue no fix has been presented as of yet. once we have solid news on that we will share that ASAP. Again this had nothing to do with core compatibility but rather something in the coding of the F-15E.
UPDATE: When version 2.9.6 drops it will contain a fix for the F-15E radar. This fix was created by our team and not given to us by any other party. 

Refunds

While at first, we were maintaining our normal refund rules, we decided to bend a little for those who were frustrated with the issues and how they affected an Early Access Product. We have been giving a store credit for the value of the F-15E when you purchased it. You may open a ticket here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/ for a refund, but we ask for patience as it may take up to 7-10 business days to process your refund. 

Other modules will not be refunded at this time, all of these are out of Early Access and remain working. It is our commitment that no matter what happens we will do our best to make sure these continue to work into the future. We understand those of you who remember losing the Hawk, this is not something we intend to do again.

Steam refunds are based on the play time of the core game, not the individual module. It is their policy and they handle the refunds. As we understand it, no refunds have been accepted by Valve. All modules continue to work, aside from the current radar issues with the F-15E which we hope will be addressed sooner than later. South Atlantic continues to be updated and as I stated above, the other older modules we plan to make sure they continue to work into the foreseeable future. 

Is ED broke?
No, Eagle Dynamics is very healthy aside from this dispute currently, all other 3rd Parties and the ED development team continue to work and push new and exciting content out to you. 

Is ED pushing things out because they are out of money?
No, most of these recent products have been scheduled for quite some time now, into early last year. The 3rd Party products are based on when they are ready from their own team, although some delays here and there squished some release dates together, nothing has been out of the ordinary except more goodies in a short amount of time. 

How can you keep selling the F-15E or other modules? UPDATE 2025-04-07
Right now we are working within the framework of the legal advice moving forward and not wanting to cause any more riffs or issues. It's a complex process at this point and most likely why it seems to be moving so slowly for everyone. Nothing more can be said about that right now. Sorry.
After receiving an official request by RAZBAM to remove products from sale we have done so. All products will be fully supported by DCS and will continue to operate.

We cannot comment on any more conspiracy theories than this. This was an unfortunate disagreement that had been going on for some time and finally went public. I can only speak for Eagle Dynamics but I believe both teams want to resolve this as fast as possible and get back to making virtual airplanes. 

The discussion below was the old thread. This new thread may be moderated a little harder, so please be nice to each other, know that all the other customers in here discussing this with you are in the same boat and probably want the same thing. So let's be open to their opinions and concerns and understand they are allowed to have them as much as you are. Anything from any user here without an official tag won't be making any official comments, me and @BIGNEWY will only comment on publically available info as this is a legal matter at the end of the day.

-------------------------------
Update
25th July 2025
 

In response to recent comments and questions made by Razbam Simulations, its proxies and/or external developers, Eagle Dynamics confirms that it signed a settlement agreement with Razbam at the end of 2024 to put an end to the existing disputes and that such agreement also provides for a strict confidentiality requirement that prevents Eagle Dynamics from disclosing further information.

Eagle Dynamics can, however, confirm that Razbam instructed Eagle Dynamics to cease selling the modules developed by Razbam and its independent developers. All modules continue to function ‘as is’ and despite not receiving any access to source codes or cooperation from Razbam and its external developers, Eagle Dynamics will do its best to ensure that these modules continue to function in 2.9.X.

We are still hoping to be able to implement the settlement agreement and to find a satisfactory outcome to the current situation, in the best interests of our valued community.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics

I cannot say enough, on behalf of all of us at Eagle Dynamics, how sorry we are that you are being made, in part by us, to go through this. We are committed to getting this sorted as soon as we can.

Thanks
The ED Team

Hello everyone ! Am I the only one who saw this ? Can we dream and think that it will be for DCS ?

If possible any tips on getting the mouse working for cockpit controls? It seems to be a little high. Is this used for landing gear? Not sure what to do about choosing which of the three controls and what key is used.

Thanks for any tips

Ken

O-2A Skymaster in DCS?

It would be great because this version of the Mirage2000 is the real competitor to the F16, F18 or Su27 and MiG29.

For the Harrier, the M2000C and now the MiG-19, the overall quality and immersion of the sounds of these modules is, to be frank, poor.

When creating simulations we are aiming in general for something to be as realistic as possible. Because a simulation cannot fully realise the sensation of the real thing, the things we can simulate accurately have to be all the more realistic. For example, while flying a jet in DCS we do not have the sensation of movement, nothing much can be done about that, we do not have the sense of smell, again nothing can be done. But we do have other senses we can use. Sight and Sound. For the former we can employ great graphics and rendering to make things look as real as possible and RAZBAM have done an excellent job in this respect. However, the next sense, sound is whats immersion breaking. In the absence of some of the major senses, these two have to be extra special.

As it stands, the sounds of the Harrier are 'OK' however, the main engine sound has a distinct seam at where the loop occurs. This sounds horrible. Also, the start up and in cockpit ambient sounds are really bad too. In the end I created a mod to improve this ( https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300537/ ).

The M2000C is almost as bad, terrible start up ambiance, some kind of sonic boom sound when the afterburner ignites (which is not realistic at all). As for the MiG19, well, ok it's early but it's still bad.

As stated before, the importance of creating immersive atmosphere relies heavily on exciting the senses available to use in the simulation. It is not an after thought. The simulation goes above just the systems and modelling, its the way it feels. At the moment, RAZBAM lack behind the likes of ED (F18 etc) and HB (F14) for general feel.

Please look to change and improve these aspects and don't rely on the community to fix them.

Thanks.

After a while I install DCS from scratch, I download my modules, and when I go to run the simulator, Windows Defender tells me about an existing threat, why is this happening?.

For security reasons, I have uninstalled the module and used several tools to eradicate the threat, but it is still active... it is really a headache.

I attach a photo.

Just tried to connect to DCS tonight and the sim is telling me I don't have authorization for the Harrier?

Tried restarting it's still coming up.

I obviously own the aircraft.

Otherwise, if it's "fake news" then ED needs to assure us it is in fact "fake news".

but

Post these ones and slowly walks away....BTW before anyone jumps into out of context theories..lol..these are very early renditions of a long running project that we can share some pics of, having said that, it's going to be a long run before you see these in the sim.

As some of you may be aware Razbam teased us again with some Verrrrrryyyyy early WIP shots of the Lightning in 2020. They treated us to lots of 3D renders and even some photos of the team 3d scanning a cockpit bus since then, understandably, the project has gone quiet. I understand and respect that Razbam has much higher priority modules they're developing but since it's the Razbam aircraft I anticipate the most I'd be remiss for not seeking an update. It has been a little over 3 years since the last update and whilst probably not much has happened it would be nice to know that the project isn't dead

Currently, the LHA-1 Tarawa (and invincible) enables to use simultaneously 4 slots for helicopters.

Can you please please enable to use the other slots?

My team is dedicated to helicopter with some support from av8b. With almost 20 pilots per mission, that requires too much ships.

Thanks for your help and your great job.
